Sometimes a barrier needs to be pushed through, other times it's there for a reason. I have been spinning my wheels, caught up in so many different topics and goals and demands that I haven't been able to properly pursue a single one of them. Every time I think I have a fresh perspective, and greet the day with determination to end it feeling accomplished, I lose track of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Even last Sunday, when I was so focused on work, and spent hours researching the last session of the NC General Assembly and hours writing, I didn't finish the day with any sort of product. Just ideas, about where to pitch the article, and how to snag an interview with Bev Perdue.
Good ideas, good legwork, no completion.
I'm still wrestling with the question of scope. Long-term work on a book? Up-to-the-minute posts on daily news? Submitting free-lance articles?
So I'm going to pull way back for a couple of weeks and work out these questions. It's something I did in January, and I came to some conclusions that led me to the major revamp of this website and the relatively clearer set of guiding principles I'm using now. Time to go to the next level.
I can't wait to walk the shores of the NC coast and sort through these questions with such free and beautiful surroundings.
When I return, it will be with a whole new level of focus and determination.
